Jack Tretton Addresses PSN Outage During Sony E3 Press Conference

As expected, SCEA CEO Jack Tretton started off the Sony E3 press conference by addressing the “elephant in the room”: the historic PlayStation Network outage. Tretton cracked a joke about the gaming press enjoying bad news, offering up a wry “You’re welcome.”

Tretton apologized for the “anxiety we’ve caused you,” and said that Sony is committed to making sure PSN is “entertaining and secure for everybody.” He also said that PSN activity is currently at 90 percent of what it was prior to the PSN going down.

Tretton wrapped up his intro saying that Sony continues to be “humbled and amazed” by the support of Sony’s third-party partners.
